Astrocast API - Developers

The Astrocast API communicates small bites of astronomical knowledge to any application using a GET method and JSON protocol. These details include astronomical planetary names, taxonomy, and related organization(s). The API's JavaScript component selects and returns astronomy factoids at random such as “Solar flares are when the sun throws out a large amount of charged particles.” It also generates a clickable Google search link for additional information.
